went way outside of my comfort zone and attended a baby shower for a girl i don't know very well, but know her boyfriend. she and her family and friends are a lovely bunch...i made the baby a lime green/bright purple striped dress (no, i failed to take a picture) and took a key lime pie.

i pray through my hands, most times.

the day has been introspective for me, which is good. quiet night, watched a movie i had no business watching and was unable to sleep very well, but i believe it is partially due to the fact i am starting to experience (at night) my own personal summers. 3, 4 times a night. it's getting old already.

doctor visit on 3/1. have a list of questions, including how i could potentially wean off of my effexor and perhaps onto something else. some of you have been on the anti-anxiety withdrawal path with me in the past. it isn't pleasant, but neither are the side effects of this medication.

i tweet, therefore i am a tweeter.

St. Paul, to the Thessalonians

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness, for that day to overtake you like a thief.For all of you are children of the light and children of the day.We are not of the night or of darkness.Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do,but let us stay alert and sober.

Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again.

It was not in me.It moved in and out.When I dared to stop it, the wine won out.(What it was, I no longer remember.)The wine then offeredthis and offered that,till I became dependent on him.

I, fool!

Robin: "Boy! That was our closest call ever! I have to admit that I was pretty scared!"Batman: "I wasn't scared in the least."Robin: "Not at all?"Batman: "Haven't you noticed how we always escape the vicious ensnarements of our enemies?"Robin: "Yeah, because we're smarter than they are!"Batman: "I like to think it's because our hearts are pure."
